U.S. Ignores Terrorists Next Door

Summary:

  "Some of the world's most vicious terrorists live a short drive from San Diego, and lately they make al-Qaida look like the Simpsons. With well-founded fearlessness, the bosses of Mexico's drug cartels routinely slaughter police officers, politicians, journalists and innocent bystanders, sometimes within sight of the U.S. border. There is no American military presence, covert or otherwise, to deter the narco-terrorists. The American government is expensively preoccupied chasing jihadists on the other side of the world." (Guelph Mercury) In this article, the author comments on the drug war crisis in Mexico, contending that "what's happening in Mexico is a more pressing threat to U.S. homeland security than what's happening in Afghanistan or Yemen."
